Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), this American-made Bomber Model A variant features a specialized finish designed for low-light visibility. The body is coated in a high-visibility fluorescent green and yellow pattern with dark, mottled scale-like speckles, specifically engineered for UV glow capabilities. As shown in the secondary image, the UV-reactive paint reacts under certain light spectrums, a technical feature Bomber integrated to assist anglers targeting walleye or pike in deeper or murkier environments. Labeled as a Model 6A, this crankbait is designed to reach depths of 6-8 ft (1.8-2.4 m) for both casting and trolling applications. Its compact 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) frame is fitted with a long, clear plastic diving lip and two sets of sharp, silver-finish treble hooks. Rated at 5/5, the specimen remains in superb condition, retaining its vibrant colors and original hardware. A classic red eye provides a distinct focal point on the head, maintaining the traditional look of the Bomber series while incorporating modern glow-in-the-dark technology under product code 10480.
